EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "German Army deserters being apprehended at the Dutch border, World War I, 1915" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Louis Charles Bombled and published in Le Petit Journal on January 31st, 1915, this illustration offers a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the First World War. The scene depicts German soldiers attempting to flee their own army but being caught at the Dutch border. The artist skillfully captures the tension and desperation of these deserters as they are stopped and detained by French troops. The soldiers wear spiked pickelhaube helmets, symbolizing their allegiance to Germany. Set against a winter backdrop, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh conditions faced by those involved in warfare during that era. It also highlights the significance of borders and how they played a role in capturing individuals who sought refuge or escape from conflict zones. This litho print not only provides historical insight into World War I but also serves as propaganda for France's efforts during that time. It showcases French military strength while portraying German deserters as traitors who were rightfully apprehended. Overall, this artwork is an important visual representation of one aspect of war - capturing deserters - and invites viewers to reflect on the complexities and consequences faced by individuals caught up in global conflicts like World War I.
